I got you all beat. I remember when Ghostbusters were cool...
I guess I really am an old foggie. I was nine when the 90's started.
Oh yeah, and News Kids on the Block beat NSync and Backstreet Boys anyday.

Wow, really? I was born in the 90s, that's why!  1991 to be exact. I saw the end of the 90s, but didn't really remember much. My life's memories are mainly in the new millenium. ^^ |

Actually that's not quite true. Before Sailor Moon graced us with her presence, there was Voltron. I'm sure only the older boys (and maybe some of the younger ones) will know what I'm talking about. Not many girls would find the show interesting. Let's just say that Power Rangers takes after Voltron.

I remember when all of that was cool, and I remember when Nintendo (not super) was all that. I remember Voltron, and Transformers and Carebears (I collected Care Bears) My Little Pony was both a toy and a cartoon. I can remember when the cpu and the monitor were inseperable because if you pulled the huge black cable out of the back of the monitor then it wouldn't work because it didn't have it's own power plug. Nike was the only shoe that you were wore if you were cool. Guess jeans were what "Everybody" was wearing. And Tommy Hilfiger hadn't even been thought of. American Eagle was still sold at K Mart, it hadn't become some big name that you had to go to the mall to buy.
(remember everyone I was 8 when the 90's started. I remember a lot of it.)

I define hits by things that were popular amongst boys and girls. Sailor Moon was a huge thing at my school; the guys liked the whole power thing and every girl wanted to be Sailor Moon. We were all so devastated when the series was no longer aired and we couldn't understand why. But now, as I look back on it, the relationship between Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune would have been looked down upon by the U.S.A. quite a bit, especially in the 90s. It seems...the Japanese are ahead of us in some (quite a few) areas. |

You got me there. Voltron did not have the success that Sailor Moon had. A few years ago they released the seasons of Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon Super S in English. They made Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus cousins, not lovers. It didn't work as well but anything to keep the American public safe!  I have not heard of any plans to make Sailor Moon Stars into English which makes me sad because Stars is a good season. |

Sailor Moon - no, anime in general - is so much better in Japanese dub and English subs. It's awful when it's English subs, it makes me cringe like heck, lol. As for Japan being ahead of the US - yes, definitely. Perhaps some of the country's concepts are a bit odd and... I suppose some would say gross, but I admire the fact they are so open-minded. However, their traditional side of things does strike me as odd when they're so open-minded at the same time, lol.
I think, in Britain, after Sailor Moon it was Pokemon. Hit-wise, anyway. I don't really know if Sailor Moon was so much a hit, but I'm sure Pokemon was. *laughs*
